IMHO Star Guard wasn't worthy of a Slashdot article and smells more like an ad, even if the game is free.
There's also the fact that if it's a Flash game, why not embed it in the webpage directly? I'm not running random programs from the 'net, and that includes games.
Damn thing only has 6 colors and yet it looks amazing.
As for being a good game, watching the video sure doesn't makes me want to play it, and I've started playing videogames in the Atari 2006 era so I'm not biased against old-school games (Night Stalker on Intellivision is a good game, for reference).
There's old-school and then there's too-old-school.
I'm not one to usually say this, but the graphics really do look dated (what is that, CGA graphics flashback?), as well as the gameplay and sound effects (almost sounds like the simple PC speaker that we got rid of a long time ago, thank you very much).
This game seems boring at best. And why compile the damn thing for PC and Mac? Why not just embed the damn Flash game into the webpage itself?
In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. Many races believe it was created by some sort of God, but the Jatravartid people of Viltvodle VI firmly believed that the entire universe was, in fact, sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure. The Jatravartids, who lived in perpetual fear of the time they called "The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief" were small, blue creatures with more than fifty arms each. They were unique in being the only race in history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel.

You destroyed the joke thread by starting at the end.
You should have started with "1-2-3-4-5? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard of in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!"

If it's really a Flash game then why embed a stupid video on the webpage instead of the game itself?
If you want to see a good game with simple graphics, look at http://www.canabalt.com/.

That's what I'm wondering, AC. It's supposed to be made in Flash, so why isn't it embedded in the webpage itself?
The video did show me that it looks boring as hell, however, so I don't even care what OS versions there is or not.

Doesn't mean the ring has the same orbit the moon had. And we can't see what escaped because it didn't became part of the ring.
E++ ?
I think they did!
